Rice Souffle

"This turned out to be my favorite dish this Christmas! This is not a skimpy rice dish. It puffs up beautifully (and evenly) in your pan and resembles a hearty potato dish. Everyone loved it at our table. It would go just as nicely with a steak dinner, too. This was taken from a church cookbook in Virginia. I doubled it and cooked it in a 9x13 pan."

  1. I just made this today and it came out great. I will for sure make it again next time I need a special dish. Might not make it all the time because there is little more time involved then what I like for a day to day recipe, but it was very good when it was done.
     
  2. This was really great Roxygirl. We enjoyed this rice & egg dish very much. It was worth the time and extra effort. It had an amazing texture, firm yet creamy, tasty, tasty, tasty. A nice way to use left over rice. Thank you so much for sharing.
     
  3. I can't believe this yummy recipe hasn't been reviewed yet!I made this last night to go with some steaks as a change from some sort of potatoes and it was great! You do need to start this early tho- the rice neeeds to be cooked ahead of time and the sauce mixture needs to be cooled before the addition of the egg yolks and beaten whites, but this is well worth the effort. The presentation as this dish comes from the oven is beautiful and this is elegant enough to serve to guests!Thanks, Roxygirl, for posting this!

Hi everybody, I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
